recent cooking adventures

here are pictures of the chicken curry and saffron rice i made a while ago. actually a month or more ago, but it takes me a while to post stuff apparently. the top photo and the one of tenny and the beef cubes is the boeuf bourgignon which came later but you know how i always discumbobulate my blog photos.

here is where the boeuf bourgignon is supposed to go.

i have to tell any of you who might have watched julie and julia and felt the urge to try the boeuf bourgignon, it was a big disappointment. would have been delicious without the bourgignon. we went to all that work and sent dennis to the liquor store and fought with the corkscrew and everything. after we tasted the final product, which looked wonderful, we concluded that the red wine was a pretty nasty addition to a wonderful beef stew. tasted like something spoiled in our food. just goes to show. i will try to get more stuff on my blog soon.

over the river and through the woods

over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go.
the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through the white and drifted snow.
over the river and through the woods, oh how the wind doth blow;
it stings the toes and bites the nose as over the ground we go.

over the river and through the woods,to have a day of play.
oh hear the bells ring, ting-a-ling, for it's thanksgiving day.
over the river and through the woods, trot fast, my dapple gray.
spring over the ground like a hunting hound for this is thanksgiving day.

over the river and through the woods and straight through the barnyard gate.
we seem to go extremely slow, it is so hard to wait.
over the river and through the woods, now grandmother's cap i spy.
hoorah for the fun! is the pudding done? hoorah for the pumpkin pie.
